A MISSION SUNDAY SCHOOL.
First Meeting Held Yesterday at
South ST. Paul "A Lot for a
Binding,

The st. Paul Baptist union, organ
lied some time ago for the purpose of
establishing mission Sunday schools
and churches all through the city and
suburbs wherever needed, has been
considering for some time the adyisa-
bility of starting church at South st.
Paul. Rev. A. G. Kelley and others
made a personal canvass first, and at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the work
was begun. w. NJ. Bushnell, president
of the union, called the Christian people
of the locality together and also gem
erOuS representation from the Baptist
churches of the city. After a number
of sacred songs, Mr.. Bushnell said:
The object of the gathering is to or
ganiZe mission Sunday school in order
that the children of this part of
st. Paul may learn of the Lord Jesus
Christ. who died for us all. Mr.. Littell,
general manager of the union stock
yards, has agreed to donate lot upon
which to build mission chapel, and
II. L. Wharton, DR.. Bryant and others
have already pledged considerable sums
of money to the building fund. The
Sunday school for the present is in
large. well lighted room in the Com
mercial hotel building, where will also
be held every Sunday afternoon at 5
O'clock a church service led by Rev. Mr..
Kelley.
Rev. W. W. Dawley, of the Woodland
Park Baptist church, spoke of the grain
of mustard seed sprouting up and
branching into large tree, and COM
pared this with the growth of Christ's
spoke of the good influence of Sunday
schools. Mr.. Russell, the temporary
superintendent, made few earnest re-
marks and the meeting closed. The
school will begin active work next Sun
day.

TO MAKE OUT A PROGRAMME.
Two Important Committees Elect
ed by Carnival Clubs.

a meeting of the captains of the var
iOus carnival organizations was held at
the Ryan yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing the subject of a
list of prize contests in connection with
the carnival. 1t was decided that the
work of arranging such programme
could be arranged much quicker if left
to committees composed of representa-
tiYes from the different organizations,
and two committees were appointed
one on Snow shoe contests and one to fix
up list for the tObOggan clubs. The
snow shoe clubs are represented by
Armstrong, of the NuSkaS; Chantler, of
the st. George club; DR.. Bean,
of the COlumbias; Otto Dreher, of
the Seven Corners club, and ShultZ,
of the Flour City club. That part of
the programme relating to the tObOggan
clubs was left to committee made up of
Mr.. Lux, of the Bunker Hill club; Par
ker, of the Nushkas; O'COnner, of the
Little Crows, and Taylor, of the Flour
City club. Reports from both these
committees, as well as special reports in
regard to polo, skating, lacrosse and
curling events, are to be handed into
Mr.. Curry, of the Carnival association,
by 8 o'clock this afternoon. After ap-
pointing these committees the meeting
adjourned and the committeeman set

THE SAME OLD CHEsTNUTs.
Nothing New or Striking This
Year in the Way of Christmas
Cards

Nothing New or Striking This
Year in the Way of Christmas
Cards.
The ChriStmaS-card business i'll New
York is booming, as usual at this time
of the year. The cards come in battal-
ions from London, or platoons from Bos-
ton, and are recruited by the million
here in New York. A great chrome
man used to advertise for designs, and
pay prizes of $1,000, $500. and $3.50 for
first, second, and third best. In that
way he secured multitude for nOmi-
nal price. One of his triumphant COM
petitOrS says lit cost ali the prize to get
the prize" That was when the manu-
facturer put all the cards on exhibition
and let visitors vote. The artist bought
admission tickets by the hundreds and
got people to go to vote for
his work, which, we will say,
has 500, no other indication being
allowed. But the faithless representa-
tives of 999 went in. took a look and
neglected to vote. A bunch of tickets
intended to swell the chances of 500
was found, and the managers saw that
900 led thus far, so generous had been
the artist who created that card. Then
a council of war was held, and the
ticket on that picture was transferred
to poor little card that had only five
voteS-thOse of the artists wife, mother
in-law and their maiden auntS. In one
afternoon the magic 999 caught half
hundred votes for the miserable little
device. and thus the firm Outwitted
the efforts of high art. This year
the cards are of the usual eSthetic type.
MOOny-lOOking women, with the bulk
of their clothes at home, and craning
their necks in snow storms looking for
cheap ulsters or bottles Of rheumatic
liniment. Children say funny things.
A little mite heard the grown folks dis
cusSing the recent action of COmStOck
in raiding all art gallery. Mamma re-
marked that her copy of the Greek
Slave" wasn't safe on the drawing room
table. No one dreamed that the four
year-old Effie understood why, till she
tumbled in with a collection OF old
Christmas cards and insisted that her
mother should put them away to keep
them from that "COrnStalk man."
"What would Mr.. ComstOck want
your cards for, child?" asked papa.
"TOS a. amt no 'tOckin'S on 'em little
boys leds," said the intelligent child.

Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from a disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life
breath from your frightened chest? Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the effort to clear your throat and head of
this catarrhal matter? What depressing in
fluence it exerts upon the mind, clouding the
memory and filling the head with pains and
strange noisesl How difficult it is to rid the
nasal passages, throat and lungs of this poi
sonous mucus ali can testify who are afflicted
with catarrh. How difficult to protect the
system against its further progress towards
the lungs, liver and kidneys, all physicians
will admit. 1t is a terrible disease and cries
out for relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all
other remedies utterly fail, of SANFORD s
RADICAL CURE, are attested by thousands
who gratefully recommend it to FELLOWSHIP
ferers. No statement is made regarding it
that cannot be substantiated by the most
respectable and reliable references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the RAD
IcAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT.
and an IMPROVED INHALER, with treatise and

Legally he cannot. But when the
man pays his $1,000, gives his security,
and makes the proper application, he
acts in good faith and l don't think
any point will be raised about it,"
1.-The prOviSO of chapter says that
license cannot be issued for any
longer period than one year, or beyond
twenty days after the annual election.
Under such provision man would
have to pay for two licenses for the
year, and be out of pocket another

swell, it is a very bungling law, very
awkwardly drafted, but l think its in
tentiOn was to make $1,000 license for
the year, and that its spirit will be con-
sidered in constituting the law, rather
than the strict letter of the act"
There was one other question which
was thought too absurd to be fired at
Mr.. Murphy, that is: Under the pro-
visO cannot the city extort from every
SalOOnkeeper who desires to do business
from January until May %, $1,000 for
his privilege of selling liquor for the
very short period of four months and
twenty-eight days?
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
There is yet another proposition.
Under section 6, of the Crandall-Lee bill
Chapter g., July l, 1887, was designated
as the date for the expiration of all
licenses which had been issued, and all
pro rata licenses which were to be issued
between the date of the passage of the
bill and July 1, 1887. That date should
then have become the date for the COM
mencement of the $1,000 license, and
July l, 1855, was virtually appointed in
ferentially as the date for expiration. If
these licenses are to begin and
expire on July l, and still the
prOviso of Senator Daniels is to
be in full force. how can those
communities which have their annual
elections in May. or November, comply
with both the Crandall-Lee and Daniels
bills. without issuing licenses for only
parts of the year? And it may also be
considered that the Crandall-Lee bill
made no provision for pro rata licenses
after July l, 1887.
The whole thing resolves itself down
to this: 1t was the original intention to
make 81 GOO the license for the full year;
the salOonkeeper can get license for
only part of the year and must pay
81 600 for it: he is liable to be indicted
for doing business the other part of the
